Every mom will experience burnout. It’s as simple as our energy output exceeds our energy input, but it can be debilitating and discouraging.

Be Vulnerable, Find Your People :: Jennie Allen [Ep 354]

Don"t Mom Alone Podcast ·

2022/02/14

Friendship isn’t something we are taught in school. We sort of fumble our way through the trial and error of how to make and keep friends. Add in our culture of independence, where it can be hard to admit we need others, and lots of times it feels easier to just stay home and binge watch seasons of Friends rather than try to find some real life ones. In this episode, author and speaker Jennie Allen acknowledges that friendship is full of risk, riddled with awkwardness and yet completely worth it
